Abstract: Much research is being done on the automation of manufacturing
        processes.
        The planning component in the production stage is very
        significan, due to the variety of alternative processes, their
        complexity, and their interactions.
        This document describes a specification of same manufacturing
        processes, including the machining, joining, and finishing of 
        parts.
        The aim of this specification is not to be complexity or 
        detailed, but to present the AI community with a model of a 
        complex and realistic application, and to use it to demonstrate
        the feasibility of effective implementations of large-scale 
        complex domains in a general-purpose architecture.
        This specifications has been successfully demonstrated in the
        PRODIGY architecture, and is one of the largest domains 
        available for general-purpose planners.
